Doom 3 is a great experience to be played in its original form. The benefits of the BFG edition are great but there is something awesome about playing this game the way it was intended.

Great game with graphics that still look good...more or less. The slow build up is great the first time, but can get tedious. The environments tend to blend together, I really wish there were more Hell areas. Sound is amazing, music is hardly there other than the opening theme. Weapons feel great, except for the Shotgun. It's basically a melee weapon the spread is so bad. I recommend modding it so the spread is better. It turns the Shotgun into a viable mid-range weapon, rather than one that is useless unless it's shoved directly up a enemies butthole.

Down right a HELL of a game... think I was missing on this one for way too long, if you find yourself not wanting to continue during the first couple of minutes of the game, please do yourself a favour and just keep going, you will LOVE THIS.
One thing to keep in mind is that you are better of adding some QOL improvements like the widescreen fix and probably uncapping the FPS other than that done even mind adding textures, just enjoy it as it is, is still a vibe!

The good old DOOM 3. No longer officially in the Steam Store in the version from the past, but the DOOM 3:BFG version is actively and, honestly, much improved over this one, albeit not in every relation.
Anyway...
The gunplay, the pistol, the shotgun, the double-barrel, the SMG, the minigun, the rockets and special weapons
...and the slightly crippled half-hero that has to switch to a flashlight instead of just attaching it to the weapons. And bearing in mind that a very big portion of the game is amazingly dark, this would randomly cause raw trouble, although not being too bad and adding as a small extra difficulty. DOOM 3: BFG has a better management here anyway, allowing you to use flashlight while holding any gun.
The monsters, the fantasy, the zombified warriors, the heavy-tooth bosses, them bosses...
...And a slightly sad truth is that you won't be battling only just monsters, but also stupid environmental factors to the point you might wonder if enemies can kill you more times than falldowns, lasers, flames, suffocation, explosives and whatsoever of that type. Eh...QuickSave & Load are here, aren't they.. Though we did pay for a shooter, not for a rambo game with Super-Mario gаrваgе elements. A good thing is, by the otherwise mediocre pistol you can clear out the picture from barrels with red/yellow color.
Difficulty balance is moderate. Neither bad, neither good. The environmental stuff is lame, no matter what difficulty is selected, though you can get used to it.
In many relations that game wuld be a sample of what a real Shooter should be, but not in all. There is actually some form of ADS, although no scope of any type. For my surprise, the BFG edition doesn't have the simple ADS key, which makes it worse at one relation. It is the "Zoom" key in settings, which is better off with the RMB, ofc.
While the game has many technical improvements and it is still good for its time, definitely...
...Alt+Tab isn't properly configured and resolution isn't big here unlike the BFG version, where you an get a superior resolution and overall gameplay, so don't expect too much of a polish in the OG.
I won't give a numeric (x/10 or x/100) score here. I don't feel like it. If some factors were cleansed (ADS scopes, disabling ridicilous environmental deaths, flashlights management, etc), this game 'd be borderline perfect, but nah. It isn't all perfect, it's OK, despite of being behind BFG and most Serious Sam games in many relations. Works with Windows 11, so you're good to go.

I TRIED I TRIED TO ENJOY THIS, nuh uh, maybe I don't like having to take out my flashlight like 50% of the time, maybe i don't like how it's slower, idk what it is, just not for me, story is nice that i will say one of the better story telling since the first two you just have to rely on the endings but it's tough to enjoy it

This game is GREAT when you don't have someone bitching in your ears about how "horror doesn't belong in Doom!".
Also, the flashlight is actually good. I actually like a lot of things people had bugs up their asses about for some reason with this game. That shotgun's 50/50 spread is kinda bullshit though, and the viewpunch on damage is awful, especially with hitscan enemies like the Mars Security zombiemen. Still, the game is almost perfect to me.
When you get the BFG Edition, you get this as well iirc. PLAY THIS VERSION INSTEAD, because BFG Edition fucks up some of the character models, removes gun muzzleflash and energy lighting, brightens areas, and raises the ammo to a coddling amount. I like BFG Edition's textures way more, but good grief I really don't like it when the trade-off is attempted erasure of the game's horror tone because of pandering.
